Question

I think I may have lost my baby but I'm not sure help!!

Share

I was having all the symptoms sore breasts, dizzy, moody, tired all the time, I felt pregnant, I was supposed to have my period on March 18th and didn't get it till the 22, however it was really light and only lasted a few days which isn't normal for me. I've still been experiencing the symptoms however today I got really bad cramps and I was bleeding badly. I think the bleeding has stopped now after about 3 & 1/2 hours. What should I do?

I would take a test doday. the light bleeding you had sounds like implantation bleeding...and the heavy bleeding and bad crmaping sounds like a possible mc. If the lighter bleding was implantation and you are/were preg you would get a positive by now. How bad was the cramping in comparison to your normal period cramps? If was the same I wouldn't worry...worse could be a sign of an mc. If you DO get a BFP - I would call your doc to have some bloodwork run. It would give me peace of mind to know that hormone levels are increasing as expected.

The best thing to do is take a test ASAP. If it's positive, see a doctor right away. A miscarriage this early is obviously still very upsetting (I've been there) but it's usually not very complicated medically. Still, you need to rule out ectopic pregnancy as soon as possible. So take a test right away, then see your doctor if it's positive. Even if you're losing a pregnancy, the test will still be positive because you'll still have the pregnancy hormone in your urine even if the baby is lost. If you take a test and it's negative, you could have ovulated later than normal and just had a weird cycle, which is really common.

The cramps were a tad bit worse than normal but not a ton. I've always had really bad craps though. I'm gonna try and get a test today just to be sure. Is it possible that I am just having period bleeding even though I could be pregnant
